A return of -elly- by ~-elly-:icon-elly-:



Everything is hurting and it’s burning up my heart
There’s a pain that’s in my head and its been there from the start..
I cant pretend to feel this when we both know that its wrong..
And I wont pretend I’m not hurt when I\'ve felt pain all along.

I can no longer hold together and I\'m going to fall apart..
When you tried to say ‘its okay’, I took the sentiment to heart.
I realised that life\'s a garden and that a flower is all we need,
But then I stopped and realised that I am but a weed.

I watch the sun go down each day and wish that it were I,
Glowing like an ember, looking like I\'ll slowly die.
I\'d love to live up in a cloud where I could just be me,
Floating through the heavens and finally feeling free.

I look upon my life as though it’s some sort of abstract art
Different pieces everywhere, arrays of a colour chart..
I start to move away from here and glance down at unmoving feet..
I\'d still breathe today if my heart hadn’t stopped its beat.

YAY... You're back... Welcome back... And very nice work.. I liked it... It's sad, but well written....

het elly,
welcome back to the fine world of poetry. i hope your break helped you out, but i have definitely missed poems like these. very few poets have a gift like yours. this poem was very sad, and definitely took a piece out of you to write. i hope everything is well. if i can do anything, lemme know!! hopefully all turns out well in the end.

Nice work dude.
i LOVE the 2nd, 3rd and the first two lines of the last stanza, if this is how stuff gets after taking a break you should take more of them man.

I think your break has improved your writing a lot. It was good before, but it's even better now. Your rhyming is very good, it's not forced at all (like most of my rhyming). ^__^ Your imagery is also very good. I'm so glad you're writing more, the more you practice the better you will get.

well, what can i say that everyone else hasnt? not much. welcome back to this community, and what a wonderful way to come back and re-afferm your place here. i kind of understand what you mean in this, and i kind of feel like that right now. i love the metiphore use the whole way through, and i love the way it all forms to create a searing image in the readers mind that isnt soon forgotten. i love the last stanza of it, i just love the ideas it concocts inside of my mind. im glad that your back, and im am sorry that i havent talked or anything lately. let it be known...im here for ya! for a young writer, you have such talent for using wordplay, and, you definantly know how to create artificial emotion in people. that is rare. i hope this isnt the last of your return peices, and i hope this keeps up. i think i might even fav it. hope we can talk soemtime later. bye bye Hug
